Semi-Successful DEPO/HIDs install

Well, I got the headlights working. The fogs are another story. I'll have to save that for another day, as I need the car put back together so I can head to work. In case there haven't been any photos posted, here are the DEPO headlights on a Victory Red SS.

Thanks. Gas Man was a big help to me, as I am not handy at all. As a matter of fact, I think he figured out what was wrong with my setup. I might hold on to the fogs and do them later (although I cannot remember the last time I even used the fog lights).

Thanks for the pics, I'm installing mine later this week, now I know what mine will look like, hope I don't have the same issues with the fogs, did you do the switchback led turn signals?
I'm installing H13 6000, H11 6000 for the fogs and switchback white/amber led turn signals

Not sure what you mean by switchback? I installed the LED turns that Gas Man and HillsDale have, with resistors.

In the pic they look clear or white, switchbacks have two color leds one being white the other amber, in the running light mode there white like the headlites and amber when the turn signals are on

Damn, I have got to save for some Depo's. They look great on any color HHR.

They look awesome! May I just suggest a little clearcoat on the bowtie to tie it in w/ the new shine from the Depos. Aside from that, looking good!


Later

Jeremy... don't give up on the fogs. Wire them outside the car (under hood). Access the fog wires thru the wheel well. Get it figured out then do a hard install. I told you after the pic you send me, what I think the problem is...
